Family Fun

**WARNING ~ LOADS OF PICTURES COMING**

Kelly's sister and her family are here from Florida enjoying the HOT Texas weather. We have had loads of fun with Melissa, Scott and their boys Reese and Teagan. Ranger's game, touring the new Cowboys stadium, trian rides, and of course swimming. It is always great to see the kiddos get together after 6 months apart ~ it is like no time has passed since they have seen each other. They jump right in and play ~ play ~ play! Rebekah has taken to her cousin Reese. She wants to be a big kid so bad. Oddly enough there have been no major meltdowns as to whose toy it is or who had it first. I am enjoying the house being full of love, laughter, joy, and buisiness. I will miss it when they leave.

For the First Time

One year ago today at 1:51pm we heard your name for the first time. One year ago today at 4:21pm we saw your face for the first time. From that moment our lives have changed, we have been so blessed.







THEN

Now

Happy Independance Day

We had a wonderful Independence Day Celebration with family, food, swimming, and a lot of fireworks. The girls did not get to sleep until after 10pm (and for Rebekah that was REALLY pushing it) but it was worth it for her to celebrate her first Independence Day. She was not scared at all at the loud booms...just a big smile. On a side note, fireworks sold to the public have become more sophisticated than when I was a kid.
